| name = Little Nicky | species = Felis catus | breed = Maine Coon | birth_date = {{birth date and age|2004|10|17}} | nationality = United States | owner = Julie }}Little Nicky (born October 17, 2004) is the first commercially produced cat clone. He was produced from the DNA of a 19-year-old Maine Coon cat named Nicky who died in 2003. Little Nicky's owner, a north Texas woman named Julie (whose last name was not released) paid $50,000 to have Nicky cloned.[1] The cloning operation was performed by the California-based company Genetic Savings & Clone, which later closed in 2006. The Humane Society of the United States and other animal welfare groups denounced the cloning, saying that the $50,000 could have been better used to save some of the millions of animals euthanized each year.[2] The cat showed was reported to have health problems during his life, even if they were not clearly related to the cloning process.[3] See also
